Slovak road cameras undergoing testing by the Ministry of Interior have been found to contain Russian components, prompting cybersecurity concerns. An analysis by the National Security Authority indicated these components could pose a risk if the cameras were fully deployed. The opposition party, Progressive Slovakia, alleges the cameras also included an undocumented module connected to Russian phone numbers. This module potentially allowed for remote access to the cameras, raising fears of surveillance or control by external actors. The discovery has sparked debate about the security of critical infrastructure and the vetting process for government contracts. Authorities are now investigating the extent of the security vulnerabilities and potential compromise of data. This situation highlights growing anxieties regarding reliance on foreign technology and potential espionage risks.
